Lightweight precision in a compact, field-ready package is a rare combination. For hunters and tactical shooters who demand accuracy without carrying excess weight, the right bolt-action rifle can make the difference between a good day and a great one.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS MESA FFT is built around those exact priorities. Chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor, this model pairs a 20-inch tungsten Cerakote barrel with an ultralight contour stainless steel profile, delivering balance and predictable harmonics. The rifle features a seamless removable radial muzzle brake that reduces felt recoil and improves follow-up shot speed, an aluminum receiver with a two-position safety, and a four-round internal magazine. Finished in black and grey and backed by the Christensen Arms Sub-MOA Guarantee, the MESA FFT is offered at $2496.99. Shop this product

Why the 6.5 Creedmoor?

6.5 Creedmoor remains a top choice for precision shooters because of its flat trajectory, moderate recoil, and excellent ballistic coefficient options. In a 20-inch barrel like the one on the MESA FFT, the round still generates effective velocity for long-range shots while keeping the rifle compact and maneuverable. That balance supports both mountain hunters and tactical marksmen who operate in confined or rapidly changing environments.

Key features explained

Ultralight contour stainless steel barrel with Cerakote

The ultralight contour minimizes weight without sacrificing the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy. The tungsten Cerakote finish adds wear resistance and helps control glare in bright conditions.

Seamless removable radial muzzle brake

A removable radial muzzle brake on a barrel this length is practical—reduce recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-ups, then remove it for quieter signatures or when fitting suppressors and different mounts.
